Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Vol. 13

The Holocaust and its Aftermath

Edited by:
Synopsis

The assessment of the Nazi genocide in Poland, an issue which has deeply divided Poles and Jews, lies at the core of this volume. Also included are discussions of Polish attitudes to the nearly 300,000 Jews who tried to resettle in post-war Poland; the little-known testimony of Belzec survivor Rudolf Reder; a discussion of Holocaust victims as martyrs; and a presentation of how the Auschwitz Museum sees its future.

Reviews

Polin is an exceptionally successful example of interdisciplinary studies. The Holocaust and its aftermath in Poland is treated from many different points of view and disciplines which give a good picture both of the current state of research and of Polish-Jewish relations during and after the Holocaust. Quite simply the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.’ Lars M. Andersson Historisk Tidskrift
